Another gem, Frank! We are so fortunate to have your (our) memories and ability to write them all down for us to wallow in the fog we grew up in! To Ann..not sure when you took swimming lessons at Larsen Park Pool but I was an instructor, life guard and fortunate to be named "Miss Water Safety" in 1969 by the American Red Cross.( I still have my sash and oar/paddle festooned with ribbon!)Karen
